Abstract

The results of our study of a gas-discharge plasma in water vapor are reported. The generation rate of excited OH* (A2Σ+) radicals in the water vapor discharge turns out significantly higher than the formation rate of emitting states of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. According to our estimations, the optimum value of E=N-ratio between the electric field strength E and the concentration of gas particles N for the excitation of radical OH* bands equals (300 -- 400)x10^-21 V*m2.
